SATURDAY, JAN. %. 1887.

We present below a short resume
of the anti. Mormon law passed last
week by the House of Representa-
tives, and which has already passed
the Senate, but not yet law owing
to some disagreements. The amend
ments and bill are now in charge of
a committee of conference composed
of Congressman and Senators and
some agreement is likely to be arriy-
ed at soon.
1t makes the lawful husband or
tcJe of any person prosecuted for
bigamy,p olygamy or unlawful cohab-
itatiOn competent witness against
the accused, and further provides for
the registration ofall marriages. MAX
Ing it misdemeanor for any person
to violate its provisions. 1t annuls
all territorial laws providing for the
identification of voters atolishes wo.
men suffrage, which has heretofore
existed. The financial corporation
known as the Church of the Latter
Day Saints and Perpetual Emigra-
ton Fund Company are dissolved by
law and the Acknowledgement is
authorized to wind them up. Po-
lygamists are made Ineligible to vote.
The bill provides that the President
shall appoint all officers from con-
stable up.
1t is radical measure, and should
pass. and if it is found that this is not
sufficient we have no doubt but that
something more radical will be re-
sorted to.
The day must soon come when we
must choose whether Mormonism or
the Nation shall rule this country.

Report of the Fish Commissioners.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 1S.-GOy. Lloyd
has received the annual report of Fish
Commissioners E. w. Humphreys
and G. w. Delawder. Mr.. Humph-
reys states that he was unable to
make complete account of his re-
ceipts and disbursements, as, in the
confusion of the Salisbury fire, many
of his papers. vouchers, accounts,
etc., became misplaced. He thinks.
however, the receipts and disburse-
ments would about balance. Mr..
Deawder reports the receipts to have
been $1,000, expenditures S4,130. 26,
leaving balance CT SS69.74.
The report says: "In view of the
proposed abolition of the fish COM
mission, much valuable time was
lost last year, entailing a loss of sew
eral million of both white and J Yellow
perch. These have to be taken early
in the season, but the number of shad
hrtched is nearly double the previous
year, and the excess of herrings is
nearly three millions. Carp was dis
tributed in all the rivers north of
Wicomico, at which place the stock
gave out. The commissioners are
much pleased to report the largely
increased run of shad and herring
during the spring of 1886. That the
increase is due largely to artificial
propagation is doubted by but few.
AT the same time the commissioners
recognize other and natural causes for
this welcome increase of our shad

For years Mr.. Burket has been
the ferryman of the Ehwkinsville
road crossing of the Ocmulgee river.
He was of giant physique with long
gray locks, and became especially
noted because of the brace of revolt
vers which he kept strapped to his
waist. He was great hunter. and
the ferry being in the midst of a
swamp, he was convenient to an
abundance of game. From those
who lived around him it Is learned
that he was fearfuIly profane, When
ever he sighted game and Was called
off from it hy an alarm from the fer

Revival in Martinsburg.

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, Jan. H.
Not for years has there been such a
religious revival in this city as is go.
ing on at present. The movement
has been directed against the saloons,
the Ministerial Association having
resolved to unite in one grand effort
to counteract the effects of liquor
selling, All last week the meetings.
which were held in the various
churches, were la. gely attended. The
audiences grew so large that the min.
listers finally rented the rink. Sun.
day night at least 1000 persons were
in attendance upon the services, and
numerous persons were converted or
stood up for prayer. Rev. F. P.
Robertson. of the Baptist Church,
preached powerful sermon on
"Jesus Wept." The whole town is
stirred up.

We call attention to an article in
another column by correspondent
who has had his Indignation excited
by the alleged doings of certain Nor
mon elders near McHenry, in this
county. We certainly hope that the
extent of the trouble is exaggerated
and that the ideas which the Nor.
mon church represent and which are
SO repugnant to all Christian people
and nations, will find no f0othold
here. If there are any of our citizens
who have been led astray in their
minds by the smooth-tongued fiat
terry of the Mormon emissaries, we
ask them to hesitate before they give
it word of sympathy or encourage
ment. The doctrines of the Mormon
church are the exploded doctrines of
an age many centuries out of exist
ence. Examine carefully the doc.
trines and history of the church in
the light of Christ's teaching. Pc.
lygamy. with all that it implies, and
that is more than we can here have
room to portray, is only one of the
evils of the system. We might say
one of the lesser evils. Their doctrine
of a coming kingdom of God for
their church alone, the doctrine of
blood atOnement and the evident hos
tility to all laws modern or civilized,
with other objections which have
served to so often bring them in con-
fiict with our people, are really more
obnoxious than polygamy itself. But
small fraction of Mormons practice
polygamy. Its existence is even de-
MED. 1t may be safely said that there
never was an institution 30 democrat
izing to all religious sentiments of
humanity as this Mormon church.

they can cure the sick by touching

Smith. is certainly not an assuring
one. Tn the light of the nineteenth
century, with all the advantage of
religious training, with books, papers,
public schools and the manifold sour
ces of intelligence, to find people who
willingly believe their tales almost
passes comprehension. The evident
intention is to gain toothoId. The
programme seems to have been car
ried out very carefully. We warn
our people against food of their

tive in Congress, which is being sent

its numbers or the material of which
it was composed, was very respecta-
BILE gathering. A great many SUBJ
jects of peculiar interest to the farmer
We're discussed and many plans form
ulated to advance his interests.
We regret that our county was not
more fully represented, hut inasmuch
as the State Association adopted pro-
visions looking to the formation of a
county organization in each county.
we trust that when the next annual
meeting takes place Garrett county
will be represented and participate in
the benefits to be derived from such
gathering.
We are inclined to the opinion that
our people as whole do not pay as
much attention to the farm and agri-
cultural persuits generally, as they
should. Whilst this may or may not
be true. we feel greatly encouraged
and we believe tine people are to he
congratulated upon the progress
which has been made in his direction
within the last ten or twelve years.
During that period our population
has increased, the value of property
has been enhanced and the volume
OF business has been augmented.
We believe our prosperity is due
mainly to the fact that many of our
people who were otherwise engaged
have turned their attention to clear.
ing up our forests and opening out
splendid farms, whilst others who
had farms already cleared out have
been putting on lime and have
doubled the producing capacity OF
their land.
There are many mon in this coun-
ty who ten years ago bought nearly
all the grain and other produce they
used, who are now raising enough for
their own use and have a very con-
siderable surplus for sale. 1t is true
that we have large area of rough
mountain land, valuable only for its
timber and mineral, but we have a
vast territory of productive land
splendidly adapted to farming pur-
poses, with soil unsurpassed for grain
and other farm products.
The progress which has been made
leads us to the belief that at no dis
tant day Garrett will be one of the
leading agricultural counties of the
state. There is great deal of super
ior farming land in the market which
can be bought at reasonable prices,
and we believe that many of our own
people as well as those of adjoining
counties who talk of seeking their
fortunes in the far West, had better
invest their savings in these lands
and participate in the prosperity
which is certainly dawning upon
Garrett county agriculture.
By all means let our farmers organ
ize society for the advancement of
agriculture. They will find that
meetings at stated periods for the in
terchange of views and the discussion
of matters pertaining to their calling
will be of incalculable advantage.
